>Microsoft confirmed a series of rumored job cuts Thursday, mostly in sales, as part of a big reorganization.
>Microsoft didn’t give specifics numbers, but the company is cutting thousands of jobs. CNBC puts the number of job cuts at around 3,000, representing approximately 10 percent of Microsoft’s total salesforce. Microsoft said a significant majority of jobs expected to be eliminated are outside the U.S.
>Microsoft issued the following statement about the layoffs:
>Microsoft is implementing changes to better serve our customers and partners. Today, we are taking steps to notify some employees that their jobs are under consideration or that their positions will be eliminated. Like all companies, we evaluate our business on a regular basis. This can result in increased investment in some places and, from time-to-time, re-deployment in others.

>sales
haha
They've been acquiring a lot of companies so layoffs were expected and sales is usually the easiest thing to consolidate. Sucks for the people who got fired though. /g/ has a hard on for stem but honestly a stem job is more likely to be outsourced/kill than a sales job since any poo or chink can do the calculations for less and companies don't like to fire salesmen since they have a client list they can take to competitors.
